Description
Adds a brand-new redstone block: the Block Placer, designed as the "constructive" counterpart to the Dispenser. Instead of ejecting items, it places the block from its internal inventory directly in front of it. Ideal for automating construction, farms, or technical contraptions.
How it works in-game:
| Action | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Crafting | 3×3 recipe: 7 cobblestones surrounding a block of redstone, with 1 redstone dust in the bottom-center slot. |
| Placement | Automatically faces the player when placed, just like a dispenser. |
| Redstone | Reacts to redstone pulses: each signal tries to place 1 block from the first non-empty slot. |
| Targeting | Places the block only if the target space is empty and the block can survive there (same logic as the player). Otherwise, behaves like a dropper and ejects the item. |
| Inventory | Contains 9 internal slots. Compatible with hoppers, minecart hoppers, and other modded item systems. |
| Breaking | Breakable with a pickaxe (any tier). Same hardness/resistance as a dispenser. Always drops itself and its contents. |
| Sound & particles | Uses the same sound and visual effects as a vanilla dispenser for seamless integration. |
This is my first mod, if you find any bug, report it to me :)

Block Dispencer in Action When powered, it places the block from its inventory directly in front, just like a player would. -
Block Dispencer Facing the Player Upon placement, the Block Dispencer automatically faces the player, mimicking the behavior of a standard dispenser. This ensures intuitive setup and integration with existing redstone contraptions, just like in vanilla Minecraft. -
Block Placer in the Recipe book The Block Placer appears properly in the creative inventory and recipe book, with the redstone-related items. -
Crafting Recipe for the Block Placer The Block Placer is crafted using 7 cobblestones, 1 redstone block in the center, and 1 redstone dust in the bottom-center slot. The recipe mirrors that of a dropper or dispenser, making it easy to remember and balanced for redstone builds.
